The current date should be aligned to the right in the cover letter, either below or next to the recipient’s name. Ideally, you should use the date of dispatch. In terms of format, ‘29 July 2021’ looks more appealing than ‘29.07.2021’.
First of all, it’s important to mention any weaknesses at all. Furthermore, these should not pose any hindrance to carrying out the job. And then there are weaknesses that are cited so often that every recruiter is familiar with them and can’t bear to hear them any more: impatience, perfectionism, being a workaholic, or even a weakness for chocolate.
Your CV should be tailored and structured individually for each application. This means that the order of sections is likely to vary from case to case. For example, if your vocational training and degree are highly relevant to the role, you should list your educational background immediately after your personal details. It is crucial that you highlight your strongest points as early as possible in your CV. Recruiters want to be able to spot these at a glance within a few minutes.
As well as your willingness to work hard, it’s mainly about your motivation. Think about when you particularly enjoy getting involved and what really matters to you. Based on your answer, the person interviewing you will then be able to assess whether the job is suitable for sustaining that motivation in the long term.
Read the job advertisement carefully: What are the duties? What exactly are the requirements? What qualifications are relevant? Tailor your application documents accordingly by mentioning the key qualifications in your CV and cover letter, or highlighting them prominently. In addition, think about why you specifically want to work for this company and set this out clearly in your cover letter.
